aboard
the M.S. AMADEUS ROYAL
Join us on this exclusive journey through the heart of Central Europe, once the glorious realm of Habsburg Emperors. Here, in a land of exceptional natural and man-made beauty, soaring Gothic cathedrals tower above medieval cities, ornate Baroque churches look out over peaceful country towns and the Danube River carves its way through lush hills, valleys, vineyards and forests.
Commence your program in the cosmopolitan city of Budapest, renowned for its exquisite architecture and legendary joie de vivre. Embark the deluxe M.S. AMADEUS ROYAL, one of the finest ships to ply the waterways of Europe, and set out on the five-night cruise on the magical “Blue Danube.” Revel in the beauty of the scenic Austrian countryside while cruising past the pristine storybook villages and medieval castles en route to the architectural riches of Bratislava and the imperial Vienna of Maria Theresa and Franz Josef.
This carefully designed itinerary also features the well-preserved medieval gems of Prague, Cesky Krumlov and Kraków—virtual open-air museums of Central European history and architecture. In addition the delightful rail journey transports you across the rolling hills and woodlands of the Czech Republic and into Poland. Among the many included features of this program are deluxe accommodations, most meals and a comprehensive schedule of exclusive guided excursions, featuring visits to six UNESCO World Heritage sites. You have the option of extending your Danube River and Habsburg Empire experience with a two-night Pre-Program in historic Budapest and/or a two-night Warsaw Post-Program in Poland’s vibrant capital.
Traveling through the heartland of Europe has never been easier or more appealing. For both new and repeat travelers to the Danube valley and Central Europe, this itinerary provides a fresh perspective on a region of wonderful cultural riches and diversity. We anticipate that this popular travel program will sell out quickly, as it has for the past four years. We encourage you to make your reservations today.
